The theme for the first PBE is cookies! Do you have what it takes to create the best peanut-butter-containing cookie? Submit your cookie recipe following the guidelines below and we’ll be rounding up any and all recipes. The deadline is April 28th @ Noon (PST). That gives you a full two weeks from now to demonstrate your expertise with our favorite tan-colored paste and flex those baking muscles! The judges will choose a Top 3 that will be prominently featured, but all entries will be displayed. Since this is the first exhibition the only prize this time is a winners logo to place on your site, but if we get a good response there will be actual prizes for future events! Don’t like cookies? We’ll be choosing a new theme every month!

Other Rules: 1 entry per person, so choose wisely and only submit your own recipes, no stealing! Pictures are highly recommended, but not required. Also, please link back to this page to indicate that you are entering the recipe into this contest. Feel free to use any of the PBE logos to link back here. Good luck to all!

Blogless?: Don’t worry if you don’t have a blog, you can still submit your winning recipe. Follow the same procedure above excluding “Blog URL” and “Recipe Permalink URL” and feel free to email the picture along with the recipe!

Nick, could I submit a recipe using a different nut butter. It’s just that I have had to take a temporary holiday from peanut butter as it is too hard to digest – being really a legume and not a nut at all.

But I can still eat, hazelnut butter (amazing – surely a natural for chocolate nut butter?) Almond butter (dark and satisfying), Pecan butter (outrageously good with maple syrup), sunbutter (slightly scarily grey which is why they can it sunbutter) and brazilnut butter (just really buttery)…

Just wanted to let you know that I am slaving away in the kitchen with my jar of peanut butter! I don’t know if I’m cut out to do this or not as my the first two ideas ended up in the waste basket! LOL! But, I’m determined to come up with a GF..licious PB cookie! So we’ll see what happens!

WOW. I just came across your site today, and would have loved to submit my Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe. However, I realize that the deadline to submit is closely in momentarily, so I’ll have to wait for a future opportunity. In the meantime, I can’t wait to view the submissions. In addition to being a “chocoholilc”, I ADORE GREAT Peanut Butter. YUM! So glad I found you!Mark

Well, as you know…….I did it……LOL Glad I could participate. At the very least, I’ve been munching away quite happily now for the past several hours. Who knows, you might even give me a “Peanut Butter High 5″ for Last Minute Submissions…..LOL!
